I'm working on a locked down workstation that will not
keep my setings when I change to a different mdw. I set
it in the morning but when I login again the next day it
defaults the the standard Access mdw file. I was told
that if I create a shortcut on my desktop and added the
location of the mdw I want to join I wouldn't have go
throught the hassle of re-join the mdw every morning.

Can someone help with the correct syntax?

Thanks

"Full path to MSAccess.exe" /wrkgrp "Full path to mdw file" "full path to mdb file"

I don't think it matters. Other than the path to the executable being first.

True. For some of the switches, the order matters, but not in this case.
